Develop enhanced research, employability and personal skills and work towards a master's qualification by undertaking an industrial placement or a summer internship and research project in the final year of an MBiolSci programme. The MBiolSci is a four-year integrated master's programme that provides valuable opportunities to students who are seeking a high-level career in research (eg studying for an PhD or working in industry) or those seeking to enhance their scientific qualifications. For the first three years, students follow a pathway that constitutes one of our current three-year BSc Honours degree programmes.
Anatomy and Human Biology BSc (Hons) (B110)
Biochemistry BSc (Hons) (C700)
Biological and Medical Sciences BSc (Hons) (C130)
Bioveterinary Science BSc (Hons) (D900)
Biological Sciences BSc (Hons) (C100)
Microbiology BSc (Hons) (C500)
Pharmacology BSc (Hons) (B210)
During the fourth (master's) year, students will take advanced modules to further enhance their research and personal skills and will join a research team to undertake a significant research project. Students will also have the opportunity to apply for a research internship in the UK or overseas, or to apply to spend time working in industry or in other enterprises in the final year.
The core modules which students will take in year 4 of the programme include Research Methods and Applications in Biological Sciences and a choice between Advanced Statistics for Biological Research and Informatics for Life Sciences, together with a 60-credit Research Project. In addition, students will take either a 30-credit internship undertaken as a placement in the summer period between years Three and Four, or a total of 30 credits of other M level modules. These internships may be in the UK or in our partner institutions abroad, for instance in Thailand or China. Students also have the opportunity to spend part or all of the final year gaining practical experience, for example in industry.
The title of your degree award will reflect your pathway of choice e.g. Master of Biological Sciences (Biochemistry).
At Liverpool, we offer two routes for students wishing to study for a degree in Life Sciences. You can enrol on one of our Deferred Choice Programmes (C130 or C100) that allows students to learn about the different subjects available in Life Sciences before specialising, or retain their broad interests and gain a degree. Alternatively, students can enrol on a specific programme of study that specialises in one area of the Life Sciences.
